On Wednesday, the New York Times published a joint interview with Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, mostly discussing their upcoming movie The Post. However, the Academy Award–winning actress also spoke about Harvey Weinstein and sexual misconduct in Hollywood. When the reporter asked Streep about the criticism she has faced in the past months for not speaking out sooner against Weinstein, she said, “I don’t want to hear about the silence of me. I want to hear about the silence of Melania Trump. I want to hear from her. She has so much that’s valuable to say. And so does Ivanka. I want her to speak now.”

Donald Trump Jr. just couldn't let Streep have the last word. He responded to her quote on Twitter, writing, "Amazing that the only person in all of Hollywood who didn’t know Weinstein was a serial assaulter (of course she did) has an opinion on this."

Despite working with Weinstein in the past, Streep has maintained that she had no idea about any sexual assault or harassment allegations until they publicly came to light. In a statement three days after the allegations were published in the New York Times, Streep released a statement in the Huffington Post. She said the stories "appalled those of us whose work [Weinstein] championed, and those whose good and worthy causes he supported," adding that the "intrepid women who raised their voices to expose this abuse are our heroes."

Streep also vehemently denied that she had any inkling of misconduct. "One thing can be clarified. Not everybody knew. Harvey supported the work fiercely, was exasperating but respectful with me in our working relationship, and with many others with whom he worked professionally." She continued, "I didn’t know about these other offenses: I did not know about his financial settlements with actresses and colleagues; I did not know about his having meetings in his hotel room, his bathroom, or other inappropriate, coercive acts. And if everybody knew, I don’t believe that all the investigative reporters in the entertainment and the hard news media would have neglected for decades to write about it."

Streep continues to field public criticism, despite speaking out in support of the #MeToo movement, sharing her own stories of violence, and spearheading a campaign to reach parity between men and women in the entertainment business by 2020. In December, a street artist circulated posters in several locations around Los Angeles that depict an image of Streep next to Weinstein with a red box across her eyes with the text “She knew.”
